^Yea, a week before it was even released, due to an unrevealed exploit in the similar iPhone/iPod firmware. The exploit still hasn’t been released to the public, as it is sure to be patched in the firmware immediately upon revelation…

I know from experience that if you (somewhat) hacked something and you really like it for yourself you better not release it, else it will be ‘fixed’ and nobody will have anything, although there are instances where it’s just a possibility there are other cases where it’s a certainty, and if it is certain I can understand sitting on it and only sharing with one or two people you previously tested for trustworthiness.

On the other hand you know there are a lot of bullshitters out there too that claim things that are not true.

: This is perhaps the perfect reason _TO_ sit on an exploit. The iPod touch, and iPhones are already rooted jailbroken easily (with prerequisites on the firmware I believe). But here, the work they already did applies to the newcomer also.

I believe there was similar events with the wii reversing. You keep the exploit you like, and use it to find other, harder to remove sploits. You don’t want to have your entrance patched up before your package arrives.
